Poultry egg and meat are important sources of high quality proteins, minerals and
vitamins to balance the human diet. Specially developed breeds of egg type
chicken are now available with an ability of quick growth and high feed conversion
efficiency. Depending on the farm-size, layer (for eggs) farming can be main
source of family income or can provide subsidiary income and gainful employment
to farmers throughout the year. Poultry manure has high fertilizer value and can be
used for increasing yield of all crops.
India is a densely populated country having predominantly agricultural economy.
Almost every part of our country is suitable for poultry farming. During the past
few years poultry industry have gained enormous potential particularly in and
around major cities and towns. The Government of India through State
Directorates of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Services have been giving thrust
on and incentives for the development of poultry industry. Development of poultry
industries may further be accelerated, if improved varieties of layers/broilers are
made available to the poultry farmers which could ensure fast growth, maximum
feed to meat/egg conversion and low mortality among the poultry birds. Therefore,
it is essential that hatcheries are set up in different areas having potential on
decentralised basis, so that poultry farmers may get high yielding varieties of chick
which in turn may give good returns to the farmers. This will not only reduce the
pressure of unemployment in rural and sub-urban areas but also help in increasing
per capita consumption of poultry meat and eggs and thus strengthen the economy
of our country. In the modern nomenclature of poultry industry, the term hatchery
covers the sector which is engaged in production and supply of one-day old chicks
by artificial incubation. A hatchery can be a part of a breeding farm or it can be a
franchiser or sub-franchiser for producing parent and day–old chicks of broilers or
layers. The term hatchery can be extended to an organisation which does not
maintain any breed stock (mating stocks) but only procures hatching eggs for
producing (supplying) day old chicks. The organisations producing day old chicks
only for replenishing their own requirements of birds are not covered under the
term hatchery.
Poultry is the least cost alternative only next to fish & produces more of
animal protein from the same amount of feed compared to milch Cow, Sheep,
Goat & Pig.
Two eggs provide 160 calories of energy and more than 20% of the daily
requirement of proteins, Vit A, D & B12, Riboflabin, Folic acid, Pantothenic acid,
Phosphorus, Iodine along with fat.
Poultry farming require less area with high return than any other Animal
Husbandry and Agriculture activities .
Land topography & soil fertility is never a criteria for Poultry like Agriculture.
Poultry farming involves high grade sophisticated technology with higher
profitability for which younger generation prefer this activity as their occupation
than any other Agriculture & Allied activities.
In the primary sector, Agriculture provides about 100 to 120 days employment to
the rural poor. Scanty land holding, land fragmentation and seasonal Agriculture
are not able to provide full employment to the work-force which in turn creates
unemployment in disguise. Poultry farming can be a viable option for rural poor to
overcome the issue.

The issues under active consideration at Govt. level for poultry development
in the State-
1. Reduction of electricity tariff rate for poultry farming.
2. Exemption of poultry industry from labour act.
3. Exemption of VAT on maize and broken rice.
4. Exemption of entry tax on egg and poultry meat.
5. Planning to increase the storage capacity of maize crop in the State.
Goal: Production of 100 lakh eggs per day by 2010.
India is the third largest producer of table eggs in numbers after China and US.
It has recently overtaken Mexico, which was the third largest egg producer.
Commercial layers in India are predominately white (>95 per cent). Few
brown layers introduced could not maintain the market share due to higher
feed intake and no price advantage for brown eggs.
Layer birds bred and adapted to Indian climate, feed and the market situation
holds the largest share. International brands like Bovans, Lohmann and Hyline
are also present in the market. The grandparents (GP) of the multinational
brands are imported and multiplied.
Opportunity:
Increasing demand of egg.
Availability of land at an affordable price.
Weakness:
Price fluctuation.
Highly capital intensive.
Slow adoption of automation in production system.
Threat:
Outbreak of disease like “Bird Flu”.
WTO: exposing the local industry to open competition.
